Lucero's  sixth  studio  album  and  major  label  debut,  1372  Overton  Park ,  is  due  October  6  on 
Universal  Republic  Records.  Produced  by  Ted  Hutt  (The  Gaslight  Anthem)  and  featuring  horn 
arrangements  by  legendary  Memphis  session  players  Jim  Spake  (A1  Green,  John  Hiatt,  Solomon  Burke, 
Cat  Power),  the  record  marks  a  decided  turn  toward  the  Memphis  soul  sound  that  has  long  informed 
the  band's  records  from  afar. 

The  new  album's  name  comes  from  the  address  of  the  Memphis  loft  in  which  all  four  band  members 
lived,  practiced  and  even  recorded  portions  of  their  2003  release  That  Much  Further  West  (the  history 
of  the  space  itself  is  even  more  colorful — in  the  '70s,  1372  Overton  Park  was  a  karate  dojo  where  local 
resident  Elvis  Presley,  among  others,  took  lessons).  Over  recent  years  band  members  have  gradually 
moved  out  leaving  lead  singer  and  guitarist  Ben  Nichols  the  sole  resident  of  the  space  until  word 
finally  came  down  that  the  building  would  be  sold  and  demolished.  Almost  as  if  marking  the  end  of  an 
era  not  only  for  the  building  but  for  the  band  as  well,  this  record  turns  the  page  and  signals  a  strong 
move  toward  the  Memphis  soul  sound  that  has  long  served  as  an  influence  for  the  group. 

Lucero's  sixth  studio  album,  1372  Overton  Park  serves  as  a  love  letter  to  Memphis  and  its  musical 
heritage
